Trim the excess dough with a knife. Crimp the edges of the top and bottom dough together to seal.
Brush the entire surface of the dough with the egg and sprinkle with sugar.
Poke 3-5 small holes in the top of the dough to allow steam to release.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
